Well, at the risk of offending someone, I suppose, I have a problem with the bolded ones.  How is voting for Obama racist?  And why are Native Americans not allowed to experience racism? And maybe I’m being too literal, but how is liking Taco Bell racist? 

I think the implied context is that these are statements being used to prove one’s non-racism, as if liking Taco Bell and/or Obama makes you 100% racism-free.

And the Native American one, I think the key is that the title is “Things White People Say…” so claiming to be Native American (1/32 Cherokee Princess!) in order to prove anti-racist bona fides is extremely racist.

But yeah, kind of poorly written…
